Abstract | Growth monitoring (GM) is the process of following the growth rate of a child (0-59 months) in comparison to a standard by periodic anthropometric measurements in order to assess growth adequacy and identify faltering at early stages [15]. Indicators reveal that the attendance of children for growth monitoring and promotion between 24-59 months is low in Zambia. This low coverage has been noted in Kaoma where according to the health facility’s annual 2022 Health Management Information System (HMIS) reports [10], Mulamba Urban Clinic in particular recorded the coverage on attendances of Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP) by mothers and care takers below 15%. This is against the standard of 80% coverage expected. The aim of this study was to investigate factors influencing attendance of Growth Monitoring and Promotion by caretakers with children aged 24-59 months in Mulamba catchment area-Kaoma District- Zambia. |
